[GIT PULL] ring-buffer: Replace this_cpu_*() with __this_cpu_*()

[Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>]

Linus,

The recursion code in the internals of the ftrace ring buffer requires
using "preempt_disable_notrace". But it has been discovered that
preempt_disable() is being used by this_cpu_read() in some architectures
and trace_cpu_read() is part of the recursion protection of the ring buffer.
The only reason this did not crash was due to the recursion protection
in other parts of ftrace. But if there's a path that does some kind
of function tracing without that protection, it will crash the kernel.

Use the __this_cpu_*() version instead which does not add preempt_disable()
or other unexpected functions to the per cpu code. Preemption is already
disabled at these paths, so the __this_cpu*() version should be used
anyawy.

    ring-buffer: Replace this_cpu_*() with __this_cpu_*()
    
    It has come to my attention that this_cpu_read/write are horrible on
    architectures other than x86. Worse yet, they actually disable
    preemption or interrupts! This caused some unexpected tracing results
    on ARM.
    
       101.356868: preempt_count_add <-ring_buffer_lock_reserve
       101.356870: preempt_count_sub <-ring_buffer_lock_reserve
    
    The ring_buffer_lock_reserve has recursion protection that requires
    accessing a per cpu variable. But since preempt_disable() is traced, it
    too got traced while accessing the variable that is suppose to prevent
    recursion like this.
    
    The generic version of this_cpu_read() and write() are:
    
     #define this_cpu_generic_read(pcp)					\
     ({	typeof(pcp) ret__;						\
    	preempt_disable();						\
    	ret__ = *this_cpu_ptr(&(pcp));					\
    	preempt_enable();						\
    	ret__;								\
     })
    
     #define this_cpu_generic_to_op(pcp, val, op)				\
     do {									\
    	unsigned long flags;						\
    	raw_local_irq_save(flags);					\
    	*__this_cpu_ptr(&(pcp)) op val;					\
    	raw_local_irq_restore(flags);					\
     } while (0)
    
    Which is unacceptable for locations that know they are within preempt
    disabled or interrupt disabled locations.
    
    Paul McKenney stated that __this_cpu_() versions produce much better code on
    other architectures than this_cpu_() does, if we know that the call is done in
    a preempt disabled location.
    
    I also changed the recursive_unlock() to use two local variables instead
    of accessing the per_cpu variable twice.
